Our boys will grow up together

This required two photos.  As Sarah and I watched our two oldest boys sit under the shade of the tree and look so deep in conversation, we both thought how awesome it is going to be to watch our kids grow up together. While Landon and Drake have a year and a half between them, Garrett and Colten have only 7 weeks between them. We foresee a lifetime of baseball games, basketball games, dates, parties and many worryful evenings for us Moms.

Colten's Big Boy Sippy Cup

He tries soooo hard to get this right, but he just started and is learning. It was brought to our attention that he is at the age where he should start to learn to use the sippy cup. We put cold water in it and formula. He bites at it and every few bites gets a bit of a drink. Too cute, my baby is growing up way too quickly!

Day at Sarah and Kyle's with Nick and Aunty Gayle

We had a little get together at Sarah and Kyle's to hang out with Nick. Nick whom we thought was leaving in two days, turns out his Mall that he works at was about four feet under water. Needless to say Nicholas will not be returning to TN anytime soon. Lucky for us, we miss his funny personality and crazy hair! The big boys swam in the little pool, the little ones hung out, ate and fell asleep. Great Aunty Gayle was happy to rock Colten to sleep :)

May 2, 2010
Van Ride to Springfield, MA

The day was meant to be a day to check out some campgrounds up in the Springfield, MA area so that we can camp and hit up Six Flags. Originally it was going to be my family of four and my Mother and Pete. Gayle and Nick decided to tag along for the fun. That is right a 7 passenger van with 8 passenger, a two hour drive each way, two boys under two, one tired Nicholi and a DVD player (thank heavens.) The campground (https://sodommountain.com/) was decently priced, had adorable cabins, a nice pool and the help was extremely friendly. While we don't think we have the time to head up that far this camping season, we will be keeping it in the back of our head for next year! On the ride home we stopped at a local diner and enjoyed the delicious food of the local. It was a long day, but fun was had by all. Crammed car rides usually provide some lasting memories :)

Miss Allyson Teague became Mrs. Jason Marrapese

Today we spent the day with family to celebrate the union of marriage between my cousin, Allyson L Teague to Jason Marrapese. The ceremony was held at John V Doyle in Coventry. Full on Catholic ceremony. The bride was stunning and the groom as happy as I've ever seen him. The reception was held at Cranston Country Club. It was a beautiful reception, a bit on the divided side but great none the less. Our family sure made for some interesting company. Rob with his red shoes, Nick and Crystal sharing his tuxedo shirt, Ben and Lauren providing their own drinks, Mom with her bib and Kelsey danced the night away! We got home around 11:30 pm. Aunt Theresa babysat the boys (that was a story on its own, lets just say Drake didn't make the pot lol.)

Mommy and Drake time

Mommy got a little one on two time with the little men. I love them so much and they are getting so big. I will take all the hugs and kisses I get. Pretty soon they will be too cool for that.

Nigh Night Play

The boys are all jammied up and getting ready for our nightly routine. First Drake finishes up his last drink, then he sits with Daddy for a few books, some nights Mommy gets to read a book or two. Then we chill for a few minutes and off to his big boy bed he goes. Then Daddy comes back out and takes Colten and puts him to sleep. Colten is very use to Daddy putting him to bed (which could be a problem if Daddy gets a second shift job.)

My big potty training boy

We started potty training probably the second week in April and while we have had many accidents, it is going well. Drake typically makes his best effort to get to the pot, but doesn't always make it. Practice makes perfect!

Introducing Finger Foods

Colten ate "puff puffs" today for the first time. A brand new container and more than half of the container is gone. I would estimate that Colten maybe got 3 in his mouth and big brother finished up the others.
